Good to know, I didn't think about the longer core from that standpoint. I was looking at Bell Intercooler's website for core dimensions/flow data, guess I'll look at Spearco too.
Once I get a core size and tank design finalized Ron Davis will probably be getting the call to fab it as my aluminum welding skills are terrible.
The next thing I'm wondering about is where to put my surge valve. The ideal location would be just prior to the restriction (i.e. throttle body) to minimize backflow through the intercooler when I let off the throttle but I think that putting it between the supercharger dischrage and the intercooler inlet would be the ideal spot-- because when idling or creeping along the supercharger isn't constantly blowing a large volume of warm air through the intercooler and heatsoaking it.
Last favor to ask-- think you could take some pictures of how you fit your intercooler and piping around the factory radiator support? I have some ideas of my own but would like to see how you tackled the problem.
